About the Item
This is an original extendable metal wall lamp or scissor sconce designed by famous Bauhaus school metal workshop foreman Christian Dell in 1933 for Kaiser Idell. This large version has an off-white enameled paint metal and chromed screws. The lamp is branded with the original hanging tag on the lampshade. The paper sticker on the metal wall plate is likely an inventory reference from some Swiss administration from where the lamp came from. Please check all close-ups.
Its wall-mounted design and expandable/retractable arm make it the perfect light for a reading nook or by the bedside.
This simple industrial design shows perfectly the idea of "form follows function." This elegantly constructed lamp, wisely designed by Christian Dell, offers the best flexibility for the lampshade to direct the light in several directions.
Measurements: Length from approximately 17.75 in (45 cm) up to 43.25 in (110 cm), shade diameter is 7.50 in (19 cm), height is 11.44 in (29 cm).
Note: Measurements in item detail are when the lamp is completely opened.
